    Summary

    “And why is a Russian prince inviting me to his matchmaking party? Do they need gentry chaperones or something?”

    “No, no, and it’s not a party, it’s a whole series of affairs, it’s…Shane, you’re invited as a candidate. A marriage candidate.”

    Shane pulls the phone away to make sure the line’s still connected and he hasn’t accidentally started watching Downton Abbey or something.

    Prince Ilya Grigoryevich Rozanov meets Shane Hollander, Duke of Montreal.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a good vet. He can diagnose patients, neuter animals with Shakira blasting from the other room and deal with a few cat scratches. What he cannot manage is professional hockey player Ilya Rozanov being an overanxious dog dad and flirting with him, especially when he can barely tell.

    Summary

    “No offense,” Cliff says, bluntly, “But I’ve never seen you before. If you’re Rozy’s friend, then why haven’t we ever met you? I don’t think- I’ve never even heard your name before.”
    He’s not prepared for the twist of grief, an expression so wild and an ache so deep Cliff almost recoils– before Shane’s face smooths out again and he returns to looking empty.
    “It’s complicated,” he says, finally.

    When Rozy takes a hard hit in Montreal and doesn’t get back up, Cliff expects he’ll be the only one in the waiting room.
    He isn’t.

    Or: cliff marleau has 2.5 confusing conversations, witnesses a generational crashout, and tries his best; not in that particular order.

    Summary

    “You will each get seven minutes,” Ilya said as he paced in front of them. “You can do anything you like with him. The one rule is that you cannot let him come. Only I get to do that. I will start the timer when you go in. When the timer goes off, you stop and come out here. After you have all had your turn, I will go last.”

    Or: Shane gets passed around like a blunt in a game of Seven Minutes in Heaven

    Summary

    What if the hit Shane takes on the ice ends in something far more serious than just broken collarbone and Shane high as a kite? What if his heart stopped and in the heat of the moment, Ilya outed them as "boyfriends" in front of the whole arena? And what if Shane falls into a coma?

    ***

    Ilya wants to scream. To claw his way down the hallway. To grab the nearest doctor by the collar and shake answers out of them. To punch a wall until his knuckles break. To rip out his own heart and shove it into Shane’s chest:

    Here. Use mine. Mine seems determined to keep beating through this, might as well make itself useful.
